An excerpt from the article 52 facts about Tadeusz Kosciuszko

He went to his hometown of Siechanowicz, where his brother-in-law administered his part of the estate. The estate was not in debt and even brought in a small profit to cover necessary expenses. Despite the negligible amount of income, Kosciuszko decided to limit the peasants on his estate to serfdom for two days a week and exempted women from work altogether. This decision did not please the local nobility.
